Abstract Abstract: “Research Tools” can be defined as vehicles that broadly facilitate research and related activities. “Research Tools” enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize and publicized research outputs. Dr. Nader has collected over 700 tools that enable students to follow the correct path in research and to ultimately produce high-quality research outputs with more accuracy and efficiency. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mind map, titled “Research Tools”, which is updated periodically. “Research Tools” consists of a hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main nodes: (1) Searching the literature, (2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable journals, and (4) Enhancing visibility and impact of the research. In this workshop some tools from parts 3 & 4 (Targeting suitable journals & Enhancing visibility and impact of the research) will be described. The e-skills learned from the workshop are useful across various research disciplines and research institutions. Keywords: Literature review, University ranking, Improve citation, Research impact, Open access, h-index, Research Visibility ©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim

International Family Planning Perspectives We receive manuscripts with the understanding that they are not under consideration elsewhere and that the substance of the data or analysis has not been published previously. Submissions undergo a two-tiered review. They are screened initially by the editorial staff for overall quality and interest; about 70% are rejected at this stage, and the author is notified within eight weeks of submission. The surviving submissions undergo double-blind peer review by at least two experts in the field. Authors of articles sent for review can expect to receive critiques of their manuscript four months after submission, with guidance from the editors as to whether to proceed with a revision.

Acceptance Procedure • Editor-in-Chief tests the manuscript according to the several criteria of subject scope, style, apparent technical validity, topical importance, relationship to prior publication, conciseness, appropriate references, and length. Papers that vary widely from the prescribed archival style (those written as speeches, ill-defined manuscripts, progress reports or news releases, or those strongly flavoured with advertising) will not be considered for publication. • Associate Editor (Editor) evaluates the paper according to the same criteria and, in most cases, has the paper sent to one or more reviewers in the field (usually two) for confidential review. The Associate Editor may, however, at his or her discretion, accept the paper without review, reject it giving explicit reason, or request that the author prepare it in a different format. Š2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
Example (Source: Industrial Management & Data Systems) The reviewing process Each paper is reviewed by the editor and, if it is judged suitable for the publication, it is then sent to two referees for double blind peer review. Based on their recommendations, the Editor then decides whether the paper should be accepted as is, revised or rejected. The Editor may, however, vary this process in some circumstances. Copyright Articles submitted to the journal should not have been published before in their current or substantially similar form, or be under consideration for publication with another journal. Please see Emerald's originality guidelines for details. Use this in conjunction with the points below about references, before submission i.e. always attribute clearly using either indented text or quote marks as well as making use of the preferred Harvard style of formatting. Authors submitting articles for publication warrant that the work is not an infringement of any existing copyright and will indemnify the publisher against any breach of such warranty. For ease of dissemination and to ensure proper policing of use, papers and contributions become the legal copyright of the publisher unless otherwise agreed. The editor may make use of iThenticate software for checking the originality of submissions received. Please see our press release for further details.

Check plagiarism first
• Example 1 (Text with references) • Example 2 (Text without references) • Example 3 (Text with references-Checked with Turnitin)
©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
Acceptance Procedure Con. • Reviewer is asked to judge the technical validity of the manuscript and the extent of its advance over work previously published. The reviewer is asked also for advice as to whether the paper merits publication in the journal. However, the decision to publish, to require major revision before publication, or to reject for reasons cited lies first with the Associate Editor and ultimately with the Editorin-Chief. • Editorial Decision to Accept or Reject - The Editors will inform the author of their decision (acceptance, conditional acceptance, or rejection). In the case of rejection, the author will be given specific reasons related to the criteria. In the case of conditional acceptance, the required revisions will be clearly indicated. On some occasions, the Editors may anticipate a need for further reviews after revision; if so, the author will be notified. ©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
What are the criteria by which the paper will be judged? • • •
• • • • • • • • •
Is the subject appropriate to the editorial aims and scope of the journal? Originality: does the article say something original, does it add to the body of knowledge, etc.? If a case study, is this its first use? Research methodology: most journals are concerned about this, as would be expected for an academic publisher. Is the research design, methodology, theoretical approach, critical review, etc. sound? Are the results well presented, do they correlate to the theory, and have they been correctly interpreted? Is the analysis sufficiently rigourous? Is the paper set in the context of the wider literature, are there sufficient relevant citings, are these well referenced and are other people's views credited? Is the paper accurate, is any information missing or wrong? Is the structure logical, is the sequence of the material appropriate, is there a good introduction and are the summary and conclusions adequate? Does the title of the article accurately reflect its content? How useful would the article be to a practitioner, is it a useful example of "good practice"? Could the study be replicated in other situations? Is the material clearly presented, readable? Are graphs and tables used to good effect? Is the level of detail appropriate? Is the use of terminology appropriate to the readership? Is the perspective appropriate for an international audience? Questions of format: are the abstract, keywords etc. appropriate? Is it an appropriate length (note: many journals will stipulate length requirements in their author guidelines)?

Reviewer □ Compatibility with the journal topics □ Scientific level □ The clear answers to the questions: - What is the problem? - What is done by other people? - What the author did? - What is new? - What is the author contribution?
□ Organization of the paper: - problem statements, - application area, - research course, - methods used, - results, - further research, - interest in cooperation, - acknowledgements, - references □ Language: - spelling, - style, - grammar
©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
Acceptance Procedure Con. • Author - If the paper has been rejected or if extensive revisions have been requested that the author believes are incorrect or unwarranted, then he or she is entitled to submit a point-by-point rebuttal to the Editor’s statement of reasons and the reviewers’ comments. • Editors - The rebuttal then is analyzed by the Editors, and a decision is made. In rare cases of a complex point of dispute, the Editors, at their discretion, may mandate additional reviews. In no case shall a paper go through more than two reviewing cycles before a decision is given. • Editor-in-Chief - If the dispute still remains unresolved, • then the decision of the Editor-in-Chief is final and overrides all other considerations.
©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
Acceptance Procedure Con. • Rebuttal by Author (for rejected paper) - In the confrontation between the rejection statement and the rebuttal statement, the decision goes in favour of the author if the dissenting reviewer’s case is not clearly convincing. • Authors who are requested by Editors to revise their papers must make an effort to accomplish the requested revisions in the stated period, which normally is four weeks for major revisions, two weeks for minor revisions. If the author does not respond to the subsequent inquiries, the paper will be regarded as withdrawn. Normally, an author who has good reason to request a time extension will be granted such an extension.
©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
Acceptance Procedure Con. • Reviewer who feels strongly that a particular paper should not be published may be given the opportunity, if the Editor decides nevertheless to accept it, to write the criticism as a Technical Comment. The author then is allowed to write a closing response for publication in the same issue as the Comment. • Formal acceptance will not occur until the author has complied with all of the revision requests (if any) made by the Associate Editor or the Associate Editor has accepted the author’s rebuttal, and the author has prepared the paper in the Journal Manuscript Style and Format.
©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
Acceptance Procedure Con. • When a paper is formally accepted, it will be scheduled for publication in a forthcoming issue, and the author will be so informed. Depending upon the number of papers awaiting publication and the projected size of issues, this may require that papers be scheduled several issues ahead. Editor-in-Chief also may designate certain special-category papers for immediate publication. • Page proofs will be made available to authors for correction and release prior to scheduled publication. Authors should inform the Journal department of any anticipated change of postal or e-mail address between acceptance and page proof time. Authors are expected to read and release their proofs in seven days or less.
©2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
Acceptance Procedure Con. • Overscheduled - To allow for late or non-release of proofs by authors and to provide the flexibility to meet issue-length and topicmix constraints, issues will be overscheduled by about 25%. Thus, there will always be a certain number of papers held over for the next issue. Papers not published in the issue for which they were originally scheduled will have first priority for publication in the following issue.

Reviewer Guidelines 1. A general rule is "Don't spend more time reviewing the submission than the author spent writing it." If you find that a submission has so many problems that it would require a complete rewrite to save it, make a reasonable number of comments and reject the submission. 2. If you review a submission that is excessively similar to previously published submissions (or you have reason to believe that the submission has previously been published), please note this to Editor.
3. Editorial comments are helpful to authors. However, readability is a factor in a good submission. If the use of language is so poor that it makes reading difficult, please note this in your comments and reflect it in your ranking. Š2016-2017 Nader Ale Ebrahim
